News out of Sanford, North Carolina

Sanford native shares his story of UNC AFAM courses

With UNC’s athletics department appearing before the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions today, one Sanford native is speaking out about his own experiences taking the much-maligned African American Studies courses.

“I just felt the coverage of the scandal and everything was maybe a little one-sided, and the portrayal that it was a class for athletes was nowhere near accurate,” Nance said. “I still cherish my degree, and I feel very privileged to be able to go to Carolina. There’s just too much generalization going on. I’m not trying to OK or sanction anything that didn’t go the way it was supposed to, but there’s just too much generalization.
